Arsenal youngster close to West Ham switch

Arsenal’s under-21 team enjoyed a strong campaign last season, which resulted in their promotion to tier one of the competition. Although many of that team will remain at the club, one player who looks set to move, is winger come fullback, Tyrell Robinson according to the Daily Mail.

Robinson is a product of Arsenal’s Hale End academy and had signed a professional contract with the club. He was a star performer for Frans De Kat’s under-18 side two years ago and was rightly promoted to the under-21 side.

Last season, however the young winger did not continue to improve as much as he would’ve liked, only making five appearances for the under-21 side last season, according to transfermrkt. With Chris Willock taking the left-wing spot, Robinson could not play in his favoured position, and was forced to play at left-back, something which caused a rift between him and the coaching staff.

Robinson also could not hold down the starting left-back spot, as Marc Bola was the preferred choice in Steve Gatting’s side.Although he is highly rated by Arsenal, it seems he set to sign a two-year deal with West Ham; as Bilic looks to build their squad ahead of their first season at the Olympic Stadium.
